NECKTIE;

Application filed m a 29,

' 1 This invention relates to neckties and more vparticularly to improvements therein tending to simplify the manufacture thereof and torender the same more satisfactory gener- Iii) all

'l he invention has :as one of its primary objects to provide an improved lining for neckties and the like which is secured in place within the necktie so as to prevent the same from becoming wrinkled or displaced therein. The invention also contemplates a novel method of attaching the lining and consists essentially in arranging the ad acent edges of the lining strips on opposite sidesof the turned in edges of the outer portion of the tie and stitching these edges together at the same time that the seam is formed joining the edges of the outer material.

The several objects, advantages and novel details of construction of this invention Wlll be made more apparent as this description proceeds, especially when considered in connection with the accompanying drawlngs wherein:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a necktie constructed in accordance with this invention. u

Figure 2 is an enlarged sectional view taken substantially on the plane indlcated by line 2-2 in Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a fragmentary elevational view of the necktie illustrated in Figure 1 turned inside out, and

Figure 4 is a fragmentary perspective sectional view taken substantially on the plane indicated by line 44 in Figure 3.

Referring now particularly to the drawings wherein like reference characters indicate like parts it will be notedthat I have illustrated a necktie of the four-m-hand type consisting of an elongated fiat tubular member of the usual or customary construction folded to form a front 11 and a back or rear 12. The longitudinal edges 13 of thistubular body member are, as is customary, turned inwardly. It is furthermore customary to unite these longitudinal edges by means of stitching 14. a

In accordance with my invention I propose providing an inner lining for the tie and in the embodiment of the invention illustrated this lining consists of a pair of lining strips 15, one of which is arranged on either side of the seam 14:. The edges 13 of the outer body member are sewed together with the tie turned inside out-as illustrated in Fig- 1927. $eria1 No. 209,315.

ures'l and 4c and I propose securing thelining strips in place whenithe seam 14 is sewed. For this purpose the adjacent edges ofthe lining strips 15 arebrought intoa position substantially parallel with the edges 13 of the outer member andon either side thereof as illustrated in Figure 4 so that when the seam joining the edges of the body member is sewed, the stitching may be also passed through the edges 16 of the lining strips as clearly illustrated in Figure 4. r

In this manner the lining is permanently secured to the outer body portion of the necktie and is prevented from shifting or becoming otherwise displaced therein. Obvious'ly after the body member and the lining has been stitched together the tie is turned right side out and the lining is contained and concealed within the outer body portion of the tie.

I11 addition to the obvious advantages resulting from a construction wherein the lining is permanently sewed in place within the neck tie body it will be apparent that ties embodying this invention may be manufactured economically and with efficiency and dispatch. With the present invention the lining is securedin place without necessitatmg an additional stitching operation.

While certain details of the invention have been illustrated and described herein somewhat in detail it will be readily apparent to those skilled in this art that various changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of this invention and to this end reservation is made to make such changes as may come within the purview of the accompanying claims.

What I claim as my invention is: i

1. In a necktie, an outer member of flat tubular construction having a longitudinal turned-in seam located intermediate the folded edges thereof, and a lining comprising two strips arranged within said outer member and on opposite sides of said seam and joined to said outer member by stitching their adjacent edges when said seam is sewed, the free edges of said lining strips terminating adjacent the folded edges of said outer member,

2. In a necktie, an outer tubular member with the longitudinal edges extending inwardly, and a lining substantially the width of the finished necktie comprising solely two strips located within said outer member with their adjacent longitudinal edges aligned with said edges of the outer member and stitching passing through the edges of said outer member and the adjacent edges of said lining strips. 7

3. In the method of'manufacturing neckties, those steps Which consist in disposing the longitudinal edges of the outer member in superposed substantial alignment, disposing lining pieces on opposite sides of the superposed edges of said outer member and in [substantial alignment therewith, connecting together the longitudinal edges of the outer member and the adjacent edges of the lining pieces by stitching and then turning the outer member outside out.
